If you don’t agree to these Terms, you are not allowed to access our website. We may change these Terms from time to time. If you continue to use the website, then you are agreeing to the revised Terms.

Please remember that all of the content on our website (the “Content”), including text, photographs, logos, graphics, audio and video clips, and software code, is owned or licensed by ever swoon.

When you visit our website and agree to these Terms, we give you a limited right to access, copy, download, and print the Content for your personal and non-commercial use, provided that you don’t modify or delete any copyright, trademark or other legal notice that appears within the Content.

You may not modify, distribute, post, re-post, upload, transfer, sell, or make available any of the Content without our express written permission.

We work hard to make sure we respect the intellectual property rights of others. We ask that you do the same. If you want to reuse something that you find on ever swoon, ask for permission first. Many times our Content comes from a professional photographer or from the wedding or event of another ever swoon visitor. Please respect their rights by working through us to ask permission before you use their photographs or other materials.

We reserve the right to block anyone’s access to our website at any time.

– try to interrupt, delay, or intercept data transmissions from our website, so that others’ ability to access our website is diminished; and

– use any name or trademark of ever swoon in any metatag, hidden text, or other similar technique without our consent.

2. Your Submissions

You may have the ability to submit comments, stories, photographs, or other information to our website, or via email or other means, with the intent that it be posted on our website. When you submit anything to us, you give us an unrestricted, nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, make available, create derivative works from, distribute and display whatever you submit, in any media or format. The material that you submit becomes part of our Content. That doesn’t reduce your rights in the material that you submit, but it lets us protect the things you submit, as the terms above discuss. You retain all copyright ownership in anything that you submit—you are only giving us a license to it.

Whenever you submit any materials you represent and warrant that:

– you have the right to sent the materials to us and to grant us the rights listed above;

– any comments or information that you submit is accurate and truthful;

– you will never submit anything that violates the intellectual property, confidentiality, privacy or other rights of anyone else;

– you will never submit any personal information about anyone who is under 13 years old (if a child appears in photographs that you submit, be sure never to submit their name)

– you will never submit “spam” that is intended merely to advertise or promote other products or services;

– you will never submit material that contains software viruses or other instructions designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware;

– you will never submit material that is (in our sole judgment) offensive, obscene, abusive, defamatory, hateful or otherwise discriminatory, false or misleading, or that incites persons to take illegal action or that is intended to intimidate or harass another person;

– you will never attempt to use another person’s account or personal information or otherwise attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of our website.

If you submit a photograph and provide a credit line, we will include that credit line. But simply adding a credit line does not mean you have permission to let us post the photograph. Make certain that you have permission from the copyright owner before you submit anything to us.

Some features of our website may require registration. By registering, you agree that all information you provide about yourself is true, accurate, current and complete.

Some features of our website may require a password. You are responsible for protecting your password. You agree that you will be responsible for all statements or activity associated with your account and password. If you ever believe there has been an unauthorized use of your password, you must notify us immediately.

We have the right, but not the obligation, to review anything that you submit. We may not post or use materials that you submit, in which case the license that you grant to us above does not apply. We can terminate your right to access our website at any time, for any reason or no reason, and we can delete any or all of the materials that you have submitted to us, without prior notice to you.

3. Sponsored Activities and Links to Other Websites.

We often write about products and services that we believe our readers are interested in, including through posts on our Studio Swoon blog or through other social media outlets on which ever swoon has an account. In some cases, we receive free products or a payment to encourage us to review or write about others’ products or services. Whenever this is the case, we will make a statement in our review or post to indicate that we received the product or service from that other company, or that we were asked to write about the product or service. This indicates that we have received something free or have received a payment.

We provide links to other websites that we believe you will find interesting and useful. We don’t own those sites and we can’t control what content is on those sites.

We work with business partners through affiliate programs. That means that if you purchase a product or service through a link on our website, we may receive a small payment or commission because we directed you to that affiliate. Nevertheless, we are not responsible or liable for anything you do on any other website (or for any loss or damage that you suffer), even if you reached that other website through a link on our website. If you have a problem with a product or service that you purchase from someone else, you must contact that seller, not ever swoon.

You should review the terms of use for any website that you visit through ever swoon. Those terms apply to your use of that other website.
